Green Bay Packers running back Cedric Benson is facing a series of unrelated minor charges in the state of Wisconsin.
According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Benson has been charged with violating an ordinance in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin for allowing animals to run free as his pair of Rottweilers has been accused of attacking calves owned by his neighbors. He has also been charged with traffic offenses for driving 76 mph in a 35 mph zone and driving without a license.
Per the report, Benson’s two Rottweilers bit 17 calves on Dec. 20. The injuries incurred by some of the animals is serious enough that a veterinarian believes some may not survive. Benson was then charged with a second violation after the dogs were running loose in the neighborhood on Jan. 13.
Benson has court dates scheduled for Feb. 13 in relation to the traffic violations and another on Feb. 20 for the animal citations.

NFL running back Cedric Benson is once again in trouble with the law.
According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Benson was ticketed in December of 2012 after two of his Rottweilers attacked calves owned by his neighbor in Manitowoc County, Wisc. Benson has allegedly violated an ordinance that prohibits animals from running "at large" and his two dogs were discovered to have bit and chewed on the legs of 17 calves, some of whom may not survive their injuries.
On Jan. 1, 2013, Benson was cited for speeding by the Wisconsin State Patrol, who clocked the 2005 first-round pick out of Texas doing 76 mph in a 35 mph zone. Benson was also charged with operating without a valid license as his license in his home state of Texas had suspended. Benson also "had an attitude with me throughout the stop", the police report states.
Benson is due to appear in court on Feb. 13 for his traffic citations and on Feb. 20 for the animal citations.continue
